16.that/whicho引导定语从句并在从句中作主语,先行词是asentenceoraphrase,指物，故用关系代词that/

19.toworko因makeefforts后接todosth.表示“尽力做某事”。

20.buto因前后是转折关系。

21.too因devoteoneselfto（介词）…是固定搭配，意为"致力于

22.where。引导地点状语从句，表示“……的地方”用where。

23.confidence。因with是介词，后要接名词做宾语；confident的名词形式是confidence。

指作者成为一个独立的人，表示“一个"用不定冠词；又因以元音开头，故用。
